Coach Haney is entering his second season as Head Coach of the USU Eastern baseball program.
Previously he spent two seasons as pitching coach and an assistant for former coach Scott Madsen.
Haney comes from a baseball family. His father, Scott Haney, has been coaching high school baseball for 34 years and is the current head coach at Salem Hills High School. Haney played for his father at Salem Hills before graduating in 2012.
After high school Haney served an LDS mission in Texas. Upon returning, he came to USU Eastern and played under former manager Scott Madsen from 2015 through 2017. In 2018 he became an assistant coach and held that position until taking over the program in 2020.
Just 26 years old, Haney is by far the youngest coach in the Scenic West Athletic Conference. The average age of the coaching staff sits at 25, which is one of the youngest in the nation. The youth movement in the dugout has already paid dividends in connecting with players.
He is married to his wife Jeridi and has one daughter.
